    Things are lacking in the neighborhood, so looking for some recs. I'm thinking something like Uncommon Ground (which I've been to) or HB Restaurant (which I haven't). Open for any suggestions.

    For those of us who do not know, where is this?

    Thanks,

    Tapas Gitana is right there and it's pretty decent (nice back patio too) . . . not that far from TAC Quick either, although it's probably a drive (close to a 10 or so minute walk)

    In the past, we parked off Irving Park for dinner at TAC Quick and walked to I/O. It's very walkable.

    Tac Quick is solid, no doubt - but I'll be biking it and require alcohol during my meal. So.... BYOB is probably out.

    If you're implying that bringing alcohol with you on your bike is an issue, there is a liquor store a couple doors down from Tac.

    Toons isn't far either.

    You haven't noticed that a 16 oz bottle of Hefeweizen fits perfectly into a standard bike water cage?

    I love Socca which is on Clark about a half mile south. Nice fusion of Italian and French cuisine. They have a great menu, nice space, friendly service, tasty food and reasonably priced. Hearty is another good restaurant in walking distance (east on Halsted). Deleece (west on Southport) is a nice option as well.
